The Railway Infrastructure Service Qualification System Model

Abstract

The paper demonstrates a possible solution for determining a railway infrastructure service and connecting charging system which adapts to market needs (creating conformity between supply and demand). The developed “networkmatrix” structure model is able to unified store and treat all feature datas of railway station and line in exact mathematic way, by unambiguously identifying the matrix components. The paper covers the methodology of determining commercial value of railway infrastructure services and service qualification system model – developed with the help of genetic algorithm – which harmonises the EU directives, and can be used in Hungary and in international networks as well.
